I guess the flippant answer is that they'd already finished selling his banner and thus felt less need to focus on him anymore. Plus the negative response to the Luofu arc in general, and all of the HCQ content in specific, maybe had the writers want to step away and try something different.
Patches 1.4 - 2.3 all had very little of Dan Heng showing up, if at all, and switched back on the MC as the focus character. They were also... much better received, in terms of storytelling. So.

Well, the legal aspect was probably created with the assumption that it's a normal rebirth / forced molt cycle, where all memories are properly cleared. Dan Heng is talking about the specific situation here, where he knows that's not gonna happen.
Dan Heng's view of 1/1.x/2-person theory probably is also contingent on how much memories of his previous incarnations he recovered, how much of it he identifies with etc...which is probably something that changed over time.
